The New EMC VNX2 Storage Solution

FusionStorm presents an opportunity to explore how the performance and efficiency demands of virtualization are driving the need for the next generation of storage and how the new VNX2 meets that challenge. We will address the following:

•The VNX MCx Multi-Core Processor Architecture and how this affects I/O to the host/Hypervisor
•Flash as a Cache tier and its ability to absorb bursty workloads to eliminate I/O Contention
•Flash as a Tier to accelerate “hot” blocks of data
•Hypervisor I/O bottlenecks caused by improper load-balancing/Multi-pathing

These technologies will be tied back to your potential TCO/ROI and business benefit. Hear from the Father of the VNX2, Eric Herzog and key VMware alliance managers as well as FusionStorm, who will share real life customer experiences and how this technology is trending. FusionStorm will also share the math behind the great TCO/ROI their customers experience when moving to the VNX2.

Hadoop has traditionally been based on DAS storage in servers, but evolving requirements create a strong case for moving to an optimized external enterprise class scale-out storage solution—Isilon is the leading example of such a solution. Isilon optimizes Hadoop by supporting HDFS as a NAS style protocol, while preserving 100% Apache Open Source compliance. This approach brings all of Isilon’s benefits—efficiency, lower TCO at scale, operational flexibility with investment protection, enterprise data governance—to an Enterprise Hadoop Data Lake. The combination of Isilon and Pivotal offer a highly differentiated Analytics solution stack that is solving enterprise customer Analytic problems today—join us to learn how.

Apache™ Hadoop® innovations continue to power and disrupt the data management and warehousing markets. However, leveraging Apache Hadoop for today's advanced analytics requires a steep learning curve and even more challenging mesh of additional technologies. Pivotal has been busy advancing and opening its unique enterprise Pivotal HD, HAWQ SQL query engine, and in-memory capabilities specifically to fit growing demands for advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms.

In this webinar Pivotal will introduce its most recent advances in Pivotal's innovative Business Data Lake. We will cover recent enhancements providing more powerful and high performing analytics, leveraging GemFire in-memory technologies for real-time processing and analysis, and unlocking Pivotal's capabilities for a wide variety of analytic languages, formats, and interfaces.

Virtualization, cloud computing, hybrid environments and BYOD are here to stay. When implemented successfully, these solutions can transform the way businesses operate and lower the OPEX and CAPEX costs of IT departments. However, these major IT trends cannot be considered separately: virtualization and cloud are often linked, and needs for anytime anywhere connectivity and mobile workforce enablement won't wait. This is why it's essential to have a holistic approach and address the business, technology and financial implications of today for tomorrow's needs.

FusionStorm presents an introduction to Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls that allow you to safely enable applications and strengthen your security posture across the entire organization with firewall policies that use business-relevant elements such as the application identity, who is using the application, and the type of content or threat as network access decision criteria.

At the gateway, you can reduce your threat footprint by blocking a wide range of unwanted applications and then inspecting the allowed applications for threats – both known and unknown. In the datacenter - traditional or virtualized application enablement translates to ensuring only datacenter applications are in use by authorized users, protecting the content from threats and addressing virtual infrastructure security challenges. Your offices and remote users can be protected by the same set of enablement policies deployed at the headquarters location, thereby ensuring policy consistency.

Please join us for a webinar on these topics, and how enterprise organizations can enable the productivity and benefits of modern applications, without taking on unnecessary risks.

FusionStorm presents an introduction to vSphere Data Protection and the comprehensive capabilities of EMC Avamar to provide image-level backups and so much more. We will focus on image-level backup and recovery and learn about the many advantages it provides for performance and single-step file level recovery. Companies like this approach because it moves the backup process away from the virtual machines where their applications are running, which avoids any performance impact to the application. Register Today! Webinar on September 12th at 1:00pm EST. Together EMC and FusionStorm will present this unique backup strategy.

The traditional approach to desktop environments fails to balance the requirement to migrate your users to Windows 7 and IT's needs for security and control, along with the user's demands for more flexible work styles and non-traditional desktops. To address these needs and prepare for future demands, IT needs a significantly better way to manage desktops – whether they’re physical, virtual or a blend of both.
